Guardian's strong sense of smell had picked up the scent of gunpowder on Isaac long before the flintlocks were drawn. Guardian's stronger sense of hearing managed to pick up the sound of Isaac drawing his guns. It may be difficult to change direction mid-air, but it was easy for Guardian to turn around quick enough to swat the bullet away with his short sword. The swatted bullet continued traveling at a lethal pace and lodged itself in the throat of the assassin attacking Princess Rosella. Upon landing, Guardian turned to face Isaac as 10 more guards arrived. 2 of the guards escorted Rosella out of the ballroom while other guards descended upon those who were fighting.
